With the new station due to open next month, does anyone know how far the new signalling and track work has progressed at Leamington Spa? I gather that there is still a lot of work to be carried out on Kenilworth station itself.

The track slew at Kenilworth was completed on the weekend of 28/29th September and the replacement CB 6505 commissioned (the original was in the way of the slewed line). I don't know if anything was done at Foundry Wood junction.

The station building is just a windowless shell so I wouldn't expect it to open any time soon.

There is an all line block at Leamington today - no engineers trains shown on the maps which suggests either signalling work( or nothing happening).;http://www.kenilworthweeklynews.co.uk/n ... -1-8207176;I notice that the instruction in the train planning rules about not planning passenger trains to cross in Kenilworth loop has disappeared - was that for signalling reasons or just to remove the possibility of passengers attempting to alight?

Never understood what it was for. There was always an issue with the overlap overlapping an opposite overlap at the Leamington end of the loop meaning a down train had to be held way back when putting one in the loop. The station works are going to eradicate that.

LN123 from the bay at Leamington now has a theatre indicator, as does LN125 on the same bracket for down departures from the up platform. I was on the wrong side so couldn't actually say Foundry Wood trailing crossover has been commisioned, or how/if it is signalled for movements the other way.;
